That umbrageous Old Person of Spain.

 

 

There was a Young Lady of Russia,

Who screamed so that no one could hush her (вопила так, что никто не мог успокоить ее);

Her screams were extreme (ее крики были чрезвычайными), –

No one heard such a scream (никто не слышал такого вопля)

As was screamed by that Lady from Russia (каким был выкрикиваемый этой дамой из России).

 

There was a Young Lady of Russia,

Who screamed so that no one could hush her;

Her screams were extreme,--

No one heard such a scream

As was screamed by that Lady from Russia.

 

There was an Old Man who said, 'Well (хорошо)!

Will nobody answer this bell (никто не ответит на звонок)?

I have pulled day and night (дергал день и ночь),

Till my hair has grown white (пока мои волосы не стали белыми; grow – расти; становиться),

But nobody answers this bell!'

Will nobody answer this bell?

Till my hair has grown white,

But nobody answers this bell!'

 

 

There was a Young Lady of Wales (из Уэльса),

Who caught a large fish without scales (поймала большую рыбу без чешуи; catch – поймать, ловить);

When she lifted her hook (когда она подняла свой крючок)

She exclaimed (воскликнула), 'Only look (только посмотрите)!'

That ecstatic Young Lady of Wales (исступленная).
